CreaTeScene - THe Punk ROck SOcial netwOrk fOr a new Creative GeneratiOn
Built by an artist, nOt an algOritHm.
When Rich Simmons picks up a spray can, he doesn’t just paint — he ignites movements.
From the alleyways of street art to gallery walls and global stages, Simmons has carved out a space for colour, chaos, and cultural commentary. He’s a pop punk storyteller with a mission: to use creativity as a stage, a voice, and a cure.
Now, he’s taken that mission digital.
Enter CreateScene — a radical new social platform built for artists, dreamers, DIYers and culture-shifters. This isn’t just another app. It’s a rebellion against the algorithm. A digital underground. A home for people who create not for likes, but for legacy.
Born out of the same mindset that launched Art Is The Cure in 2008 — long before mental health and creativity were trending hashtags — CreateScene is Rich Simmons’ latest performance piece. Only this time, the canvas is global. And it's interactive.
Where other platforms prioritise popularity, CreateScene prioritises connection. It was built to help people find their creative tribe, to collaborate across disciplines, to be seen not just as content creators, but as cultural architects. Visual artists, musicians, writers, performers, designers — all under one digital roof, building something bigger than themselves.
“I wanted to build the kind of platform I wish existed when I was starting out,” Simmons says.
“Something that wasn’t about followers and filters — something that actually brought people together through creativity.”
There’s a touch of Da Vinci in the DNA — the blend of art and innovation, the vision to use technology as a tool for human evolution. And there’s definitely the spirit of punk rock — the rawness, the realness, the unapologetic rejection of the status quo.
CreateScene isn’t just a platform. It’s a movement. A spark. The beginning of a new Renaissance.
One that values imagination over influence, collaboration over competition, and celebrates creativity as the most powerful tool we have to shape culture — and change the world.
CreateScene isn’t here to play it safe. It’s here to redefine what a creative community looks like in a digital age. To put power back in the hands of the artists. To build a new kind of social network — one where art doesn’t just get posted. It gets felt.
So if you’ve ever felt like you didn’t quite fit on the platforms built by Silicon Valley — that’s because they weren’t built for you.
CreateScene was.
